UB is partnering with United Way, the City of Baltimore, Baltimore Collegetown Network, and many other area institutions, on an event called Project Homeless Connect.

Project Homeless Connect is a major event held at the Baltimore Convention Center, and serves as a single point of contact for individuals experiencing homelessness to access essential services. UB student volunteers are needed to serve as hosts and guides and to help with other event-related needs. This is a great opportunity to serve the community, learn about local organizations, and help to address the serious issue of homelessness in Baltimore. Non-UB students are also welcomed to participate and can use the volunteer link below to sign up.

All volunteers must attend a training session in order to participate. The UB training sessions will be Thursday, Sept. 12 at 12-1:30pm and 4-5:30pm in BC room 135. Volunteers must sign up online at www.uwcm.org/phc/volunteer. When they sign up, they will indicate which training session they can attend and what shift time they’d like to sign up for.
